Let’s change the law so that an elected public official who resigns to campaign for another elected office must pay all or part of a special election to fill their position. They could use campaign donations, party contributions, or their own salary.

Remember, this would not affect elected officials who resign due to health or family concerns. Just the ones put their ego ahead of the people they were elected to represent.

Should politicians take responsibility for the costs and effort of a pecial election? Can’t we find a better use for $1 million?
